Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The main objective of the seminar is to introduce the core aspects necessary for conducting scientific research on one of the longest-running debates in the field of gender and development: Gender, Work, and Social Transformation. The seminar is focused on grounding and writing qualitative research. It will consist of a mix of participatory lectures, tutorials, and workshops, with an emphasis on data analysis techniques and guidance on how to write up findings based on fieldwork or desk-based research. The course includes the following modules:
